When Brigham Young and the first Mormon pioneers arrived in Utah, it was only sparsely inhabited by Native American Tribes. Brigham Young sent groups of Mormons to settle in different parts of the western United States, mostly in what is now Utah, for many reasons (to provide different supplies, to help travelers, and to expand the territory) and those families multiplied, which increased the number of white people and Mormons in Utah.
